A young couple comes back to settle in Morocco. He is a doctor, she is lovely. They go on a business trip in Tanger to attend a symposium. At night, the hotel manager hands Taoufik a champagne glass that happens to contain drugs. He spends the night suffering from terrible stomach cramps. His wife, Sophia, follows the hotelier's advice and takes a cab, hoping to find a doctor. She gets trapped in a pornographic tapes trafficking and gets raped by notable gansters who catch the whole scene on tape. As she comes back to the hotel, in shock and frightened, she tells her husband what happened. Taoufik will find one of the responsible and shoot him in self-defence. The couple will then organize a vengeful journey, hunted down by the local mob.
